Thank you to all for your advise and for welcoming to the site. 2 eggs still moving but no sign of shell breaking I'm really nervous they are not going to make it. 3 of the eggs are on day 22 the other 4 are on day 21.

Hi and from Ohio. So glad you joined. Good luck.

Be patient

Sometimes they just aren't ready yet. If your thermometer was reading a deg higher than the actual temperature, the hatch can take a little longer. My first two hatches were a day early because my thermometer was reading lower than than the actual temp.

I don't even see movement anymore haven't for a few hours so they are not even pecking to try and get out anymore but I'll wait a couple more days and see what happens

Hope they are just taking a rest break and will hatch soon for you. My last hatch I had one I had all but given up on, then I saw it moving again to hatch.
